The 20 Best Restaurants in Waikiki, Hawaiʻi | Eater
"The Zetton group has a knack for tucking cozy, well-designed spaces into forgotten corners of Waikīkī. The group renovated one of the neighborhood’s few remaining buildings from the 1930s, restoring the original wooden beams, which had been plastered over when the building housed a scooter-rental business and a nail salon. On the ground floor they installed Zigu, a local-inflected modern izakaya with mochiko fried chicken and smoked mayo, kale noodles, and green papaya rolls among a menu of small plates, tempura, and sushi. Must-try drink: What is an izakaya without sake? Zigu offers Islander Sake, the only sake brewed in Hawai‘i." - Martha Cheng
